 Nicole Kidman recalls the heartbreaking moment she found out her mom died Nicole Kidman has opened up about the heartbreaking moment she learned of her mother Janelle’s death just as she was about to accept a best actress award at the Venice International Film Festival.  The Babygirl star recalled being backstage when she received the news, saying she returned to her room “completely devastated” and unsure how she would move forward without her mother, who had been such a central part of her life. She described the “harrowing” attempt to leave Venice in the middle of the night to return to Australia, only to turn back, overwhelmed and alone.  Director Halina Reijn later read a statement on Kidman’s behalf, dedicating the award to Janelle and acknowledging the collision of art and life in that painful moment.

 NBA President Slams Governors Over Gifts to Judges, Calls for Judicial Independence


The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Afam Osigwe, has strongly condemned the practice of state governors publicly donating cars, houses, and other lavish gifts to judges, describing it as an affront to judicial independence. Speaking at the NBA’s annual conference in Lagos on Saturday, Osigwe argued that such gestures undermine the integrity of the judiciary and reduce judges to "beggars" in the eyes of the public.


Osigwe’s remarks come amid growing concerns over the perceived politicization of the judiciary in Nigeria. He criticized the public spectacle often made of these donations, noting that they create an impression of judges being beholden to political figures. “Judges shouldn’t be placed in a position where their impartiality is questioned due to gifts from those who may appear before them in court,” Osigwe stated. “The judiciary must be insulated from such influences to maintain public trust.”


The NBA president called for systemic reforms to ensure judges are adequately funded and provided for by the state, eliminating the need for governors to offer such gifts. He urged the federal government to prioritize budgetary allocations for the judiciary to enhance its autonomy and efficiency. “A well-funded judiciary is the bedrock of a just society,” he emphasized.


Osigwe’s comments have sparked widespread reactions, with legal practitioners and civil society groups echoing his call for an independent judiciary. However, some critics argue that the practice of gifting is often a response to the government’s failure to provide adequate welfare for judicial officers, leaving governors to fill the gap.


The NBA has vowed to engage with relevant stakeholders, including the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the federal government, to address the issue and safeguard the judiciary’s integrity. As the debate intensifies, Nigerians await concrete actions to ensure the judiciary remains a pillar of impartiality and justice in the nation.
